Arozzi Reviews, News And Guides

The Scandinavian brand Arozzi, although it has been there almost from the start of the gaming chair boom, has been carving out a rather inconspicuous existence. If you ask me, Arozzis not more than moderate success is somewhat undeserved considering some of their latest releases like the Verona Pro or Vernazza chairs. For the most part, I agree that there are better alternatives, but Arozzi should at least get some consideration.

Up until today, Arozzi has built quite the repertoire of different chairs: Cheaper entry-level models like the Enzo, customisable mid-priced seats like the Torretta and with the Vernazza even a chair that fit heavier, taller gamers.

The lack of market presence and expensive advertising like sponsoring should not withhold you from checking out what this brand has to offer. Even though I have not had the chance to do extensive reviews of Arozzis product range, I picked up some insights here and there that I have put together into a buying and size guide. Curious? Then proceed by scrolling down and let me introduce you to what Arozzi has to offer!

Is An Arozzi Gaming Chair Worth It?

I would say that an Arozzi chair can be worth it, but all in all this brand at its current state would hardly be my first recommendation. Why is that? Not because the quality is noticeably worse, it is just that Arozzis designs do not get a lot of attention – their product range seems to be unable to excite people. Maybe it is just a marketing thing, but for the most part, there are better alternatives available on the scene.

Anyways, Arozzi has come up with some serious new gaming chairs that offer as much functionality, and quality as many seats from other brands do. Let us take a look at the feature set of their Vernazza chair:

The experienced eye will notice that incredible high density of the seat’s stuffing: 70kg/m³. To the best of my knowledge, this is the single densest seat available on the gaming chair market (accompanied by the Mezzo). Even though the rest of those features are not that exciting, they are still on par with chairs from DXRacer or AKRacing. Too bad the Vernazza is not that present yet in pertinent shops.

The rest of Arozzis seats, however, drop off pretty severe in matters of flexibility and quality. The semi-famous Torretta XL for example only has a foam density 46kg/m³ and 2D-armrests at a mid-price-range. All the other chairs, even the more expensive Verona Pro, are on the same level or even below these specifications (1D-armrests, 40-45kg/m³ foam density).

I think, all in all, for most Arozzi seats there is probably a better chair available from other brands for the same money or just a few quid more.

Who should buy Arozzi?

If you like the design of Arozzis chairs, feel free to go for it. All models are at least decent quality-wise, and if you are a bigger guy, the Vernazza offers a lot for its price. Also if you are willing to give up quality and adjustability to save a few quid, the Torretta or Verona might be of interest.

Who should avoid Arozzi?

If you are not a serious fan of Arozzis style, there is no real argument for this brand. The Vernazza, which shows a proper price-performance ratio, is not your cup of tea? Then, I suggest switching to another company since Arozzi, In my opinion, does lack a unique selling point.

My Top 3 Arozzi Suggestions

To guide you through the selection and buying process, I picked three Arozzi chairs that I would choose if I had to. I did my best to cover the most asked for types: A cheap entry-level seat, a crowd pleaser and a heavy duty chair for the larger gamers.

Inexpensive & Generous: The Torretta XL

The Torretta XL was the first Arozzi seat I considered a genuine gaming chair. It is designed quite well and comes with the familiar cushions as well as with 2D-armrests (up/down, rotation). Size-wise it is comparable to the famous King Series of gold-label-manufacturer DXRacer: It offers more room and is a comfy fit for average to larger gamers. Since its price is quite low and the chair is overall well rounded it proves to be a good bang for the buck.

El Cheapo: The Monza

Although the Monza will never get my vote, it is pretty popular among gamers because of its low price. But this seeming bargain comes at a cost: Arm- as well as backrest are stiff and you do not get any adjustable lumbar or neck support. It pretty much lacks all the aspects that make a good gaming chair what it is. Considering you can get a well-rounded alternative from GT Omega for just a few quid more, I hardly see a reasoned argument for buying this Arozzi chair. But anyways, if you like the design and fit into it, feel free to buy the Monza.

Arozzis Poster Boy For XL-Gamers: The Vernazza

The Vernazza, as I mentioned before, is my absolute favourite out of all Arozzi chairs. It has all the features and offers a high quality while trumping with a fresh design. Its dimensions are comparable to the ProX from AKRacing, meaning that even taller, bigger users sit very comfy and ergonomically. What impresses me the most, is the seats very high foam density of a whopping 70kg/m³ – that thing is built to last forever.

Very reasonable price for a well-rounded premium-chair

Generous dimensions for more breathing room

To the best of my knowledge is has the highest foam density available on the market

All Available Arozzi Chairs At A Glance

Since Arozzis recent releases are shaping up rather well, I am curious about the brands future development. Who knows? Maybe Arozzi will deliver a seat wrapped in the finest Italian leather some day to fit their Italian inspired name giving. I will keep you updated about all available chairs and give you a short impression of what to expect in my size- and buying-guides!

S-M: Arozzis Entry-Level Chairs

The main reason I put these chairs into the S-M category is that the lack of adjustability makes it hard for bigger or even average people to achieve an ergonomic sitting position and feel comfortable. All three – Monza, Enzo and Milano – are only flexible in terms of sitting height and this turns out to be rather low in relation to other Arozzi models.

My advice: Skip this entry-level and move-up Arozzis quality-ladder even if it costs you a bit more – it is worth it.

M: Decent Fit For The Average Gamer

Torretta and Verona are right there in the middle. Although the designs are pretty mainstream, they are able to please the crowd – nothing extraordinary but proven. They both offer a decent grade of adjustability with lumbar-/neck-pillows as well as 2D-armrests on the Torretta and 1D-Armrests on the Verona. The weight limit on both Arozzi chairs is 105 kilos, but I would suggest 85kg as the max. Furthermore, I would state that the measurements of these seats allow users between 175cm to 185cm to achieve proper ergonomics.

My advice: What these two Arozzi chairs lack is a reasonable value-for-money ratio. No question, they are decent chairs but the Torretta XL, for example, is often cheaper than the simple Torretta … so again I advise you to favour the next category.

M-L: More Breathing Room And Comfort

Now we are talking gaming chairs! These three chairs are worth considering if you like the design and feature-set. The Verona Pro and Mezzo, although they allow users to up to 1.90m to sit comfy and can carry up to 130kg, are rather limited in width. The Torretta XL on the other hand with its 6cm added seat-width also accommodates heavier gamers on its fabric surface. The Mezzo, of course, stands out with its extraordinary seat foam-density of 70kg/m³ but since I have not reviewed this chair, I have no information about the upholstery’s hardness and if it fits the relevant user weight.

My advice: If your weight is more or less average (85 kilos max) and your height 1.8m to 1.9m, go for the Mezzo. Any heavier than that? Check out the Torretta XL.

L: Very Durable, Comfy And Roomy

The new Vernazza that I sadly have not had the chance to review yet is a stand-out in Arozzis product-range. It offers more flexibility than any other Arozzi chair and fortunately, comes at an excellent cost effectiveness. The sturdy frame, as well as the extraordinarily dense upholstery in combination with the flattened side-boulders, carry up to 160 kilos in theory. I could imagine that 110kg are very possible in the field. Since I have not laid a hand on the Vernazza it is hard to tell the optimum users height just from the measurements, but I would suggest that 1.75m to 1.95m is a realistic size.

My advice: This is the best Arozzi chair, yet. If you find it optically appealing, do not hesitate to buy this reasonably priced premium seat.
